What your starting point? Do you have clinical experience?

Maybe start with a nbme to see your starting point.

If you have no clinical experience and totally bomb the nbme you might need to go through MTB 2/3 +/- step up to medicine.

Then I'd go through uworld twice.

Step Up to Medicine, Kaplan OB/GYN, Peds, Psych, and Surgery

Some may recommend using Master the Boards - This is not a learning material it is a review material. Don't try to use it until you have the basics of knowledge covered.

Edit: Also, use UWorld in conjunction with these (UWorld is also not a learning tool... it's a review tool.)

Ehh not for 99% of med students.

If you are reading all the explanations of the wrong answers and the learning objectives it is far form a review tool. Honestly, all of those explanations are probably over a 1,000 pages if they were a book. I learned a ton from uworld.

If all the knowledge in uworld is review to you then your name is probably conrad fischer.
